Rinse it off after 50K. That's easier than changing paper ones every 15K.

#6, The most stupid saying in the world. Like the shape of the heads automatically makes it fast.

#23, I dont think its just the heads I think the blocks different to. But dodge needs another marketing tool besides the hemi.

Well...in all actuality, most modern engines use a hemispherical combustion chamber. MoPar's patent on the design ran out quite a while ago.
The "Hemi-head" cylinder design IS the most economical, that's why almost everyone uses it now.
The new "Hemi" is just a brand-new DamChrys design for an efficient V8 geared towards performance and low-torque grunt, of which I approve of. Since it's a performance oriented V8, DamChrys decided to revive the "Hemi" name.
IIRC, this is the 4th iteration of the Hemi...
Original HEMI, where they invented the Hemi-head - '51?-'58
Racing HEMI, (may be the same as the original, I was never clear on this...they used it for Drag Racing and NASCAR) '62- '65?
Street HEMI...MUSCLE CAR ENGINE, it was slightly different from the original, IIRC, new design. :) '67?-'70?

A lot of the street Hemi's contemporaries used semi-hemispherical heads. I seem to recall reading that Ford's 351 Cleveland and some of the Cobra Jet engines were designed in a similar manner. I'm sure GM did something akin to that, as well, even back then (late 60s).

#28, Examples: http://www.allpar.com/racing/nascar-dance.html (Ford) "they found the Chrysler Hemi engine a challenge to over come, and gave it the best compliment it could, when it introduced its 427 "Semi-Hemi" engine."
http://www.dragracingonline.com/tec...11-sonny-1.html "In the early years, Zora Arkus-Duntov developed a Hemi head that bolted onto the Ford and Merc flatheads...In the Sixties Ford threw in the towel and built a 427 inch overhead cam Hemi engine (not to be confused with the "semi-Hemi" 429 Ford) that had the valves opposed by 180 degrees."

#30, I dunno; the entire point of the Hemi was basically that the valves were opposed 180* across the head (yielding superior flow characteristics); I don't imagine it would be impossible to reverse-engineer that without violating a patent.

#32, 5500 of that is my parents taking it to Colorado when my sister went to college. The rest is just about 50 miles a day round trip to work, and the fact that to going anywhere that has more than 2 stores is over 100 miles one way. That and there is nothing to do around here but drive around (the towns close and roll up the streets at 6pm).

#39, going to work at about 50-55mph it gets 16.5-19.3 mpg(depending on ac use) if i push it, 75 and above it drops to as low as 12.4.
in town is about 11 mpg, but I don't do alot of in town driving with it.
I'll go through about $60 a week going back and fourth to work
